Thai Ha-Huy (University of Evry Paris-Saclay) & Tuyet Mai Nguyen (Thuongmai University)

 

This article studies an inter-temporal optimization problem under a criterion that is a combination of Ramsey’s and Rawls’s criteria. A detailed description of the saving behavior through time is provided. The optimization problem under the \alpha-maximin criterion is also considered, and the optimal solution is characterized.
